Hello Claire.
May I just ask who has given you the information? Might they know a little more? As it stands, unless I have it wrong, you do not have a name, place or year of birth for this person, so you need more info.
Might it be worth re-establishing contact with your Aunt?
Do be cautious with what you put, as this is not a secure site.

Maybe someone else has other ideas, but I feel your best bet is to find a family member who knows something. The chances of someone who knows him seeing this are pretty remote. With absolutely nothing to go on there is nothing anyone else can do to help.
You can try putting your father's details into the 'search trees' above, but even these are a bit sketchy really. If you want to do this you will need to pin down his birth.
Have you any other names - your father's parents for example - which you can also search for?

I have tracked down your father's birth plus those of his siblings, his sister's marriage and her children's names. A lot of your info isn't quite right.
I shall PM all this - there is quite a bit! It might give you some avenues to follow.

Based on the info I have sent, your grandparents I would say:

Name: Evelyn Oxford
Spouse Joseph J Hawkins
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1928
Registration district: Walsall
Inferred County: Staffordshire
Volume Number: 6b
Page Number: 1741

Try entering these names into 'search trees'.
